Hello all,<br>if I try to boot Linux 2.6.37 by supplying a configuration file to the kernel to create initramfs_data.cpio, <br>(without any compression), is it normal that the kernel doesn't print the well known message:<br>
<br>VFS: Mounted root (<type> filesystem)<br><br>even if the boot reaches the point where it tries to run init executable?<br>Does it mean that my rootfs is not correctly mounted?<br><br>Here is the kernel output printed during the boot:<br>
